JoeMcPhee (6835) - Toronto, ON, Ontario, CANADA - MAR 27, 2008
Growler from Bierkraft. Dark black beer with a thick light tan head. Aroma is quite nice, light cocoa and roasted barley over a nice lean pale malt base. More roasty than many other dry stouts along with a bit of graininess. A light tartness on the back, roasty and even a little spicy. Roasty finish with a bit of lingering tartness. Very nice dry stout... bone dry on the back. The best of this style I’ve had in quite some time.

Dogbrick (4531) - Columbus, Ohio, USA - MAR 30, 2010
On draught at Bodega. Pours black with a foamy beige head that diminishes slowly. Patches of lacing on the glass. Aroma of coffee and malt. Medium, smooth body with flavors of roasted coffee, grainy malt and a bit of dark chocolate. The finish is roasty with a coffee aftertaste. Straightforward Dry Stout overall.

goldtwins (4320) - Nesconset, New York, USA - NOV 26, 2008
Poured opaque black with a tan head. The aroma is of roasted malt and burnt marshmallows. There is also a mild tartness. Dry roasted malt flavor with just a touch of coffee. Light bodied with a dry roasted bitter finish.

notalush (3617) - Denver, Colorado, USA - JUN 13, 2009
Growler - dark brown, nearly black, with a fluffy tan head - intensely roasty aroma, with light notes of smoke, some charred wood, light sweetness - very dry flavor, moderate coffee bitterness - very tasty notes of smoke and a lot of woody character - quite dry in the finish, with long lingering bitterness - a little vegetal as it warms, but it’s easy to overlook because it is otherwise so tasty.

blipp (3600) - Newark, New Jersey, USA - MAY 6, 2008
Draft at Tap and Mallet in Rochester. Pours almost black with a tan head. Roasted malt aroma with caramel and dark chocolate. Medium body. Flavor is burnt wood, caramel and floral hops. Nice.

swoopjones (3258) - Buffalo, New York, USA - MAR 10, 2008
On tap @ Coles What a let down this was. Was definately expecting more. Waif model of a beer. No body here at all. nice roasted aroma. Pours a very dark brown with little head. Flavor of roasted malts, coffee, cola. Slight bitterness in the watery finish. Needs body lots of it. Disappointing

Eyedrinkale (3214) - Astoria, New York, USA - MAR 5, 2008
UPDATED: MAR 6, 2008 On tap at The Gate. A real wow aroma. First there’s a nuttiness then chocolate then the roastiness. The beer may seem to be a bit watery but there are a lot of good flavors for the style. The beer is amazingly fresh with bittersweet chocolate and a nice cocoa puff thing going on. Again, some are going to be put off by the thinness of this but for a nice session stout, this can’t be beat.

puzzl (3071) - New York, New York, USA - OCT 27, 2008
Tap at the Blind Tiger. Deep black with a nice firm head. Not on nitro. Quite nice overall, a perfect level of roast and bitterness for the style, really drinkable, but as it warms it becomes overwhelmed with a rather offensive smell of old, rotten steamed broccoli. God damn. Yuck. Should have finished it while it was still cold... probably would have been a 3.9
